"There are two spiritual dangers in not owning a farm. One is the danger of supposing that breakfast comes from the grocery, and the other that heat comes from the furnace." -Aldo Leopold

What I find amusing about this quote is how much truth there is in it. The society we live in today has too many commodities handed to them. We(society) have began to take all for granted. Most of us do not bother to grow our own crops and spend our days laboring in the field; instead we pay someone else to do all the hard work for us, and we just learn to take and take. When do we ever actually take time to realize that all of our possessions, from our food on the table to the roof over our heads, took hard work to build and make. It can be assumed that this is why our country is in such a health crisis with obesity Plenty of older folks and generations had to work their land to eat, build their own homes, and walk to the nearest store. Now, there is not one person who is willing to do all of that. And if there is, society tends to look down upon them and frown, wondering why he just doesn't use the easy button.
